Turkish you are an idiot. There have been plenty of legit UK runners calling RY a cheat. Myself and loads more have been calling him a cheat for ages. Steve way is new to it and robbie was calling him a cheat weeks ago. So were plenty of others. Just because someone isl famous does not make them and more legit.

There are some great people on here doing great informed work. There are some other trolls who do not help themselves and their sport.

Why do so many people not use their own name and hide behind fake profiles?

There have been some truly terrible posts on here and some of you should hang your head in shame.

Plenty of people have called RY out in the UK well before this run. Just because you don't know about it or are not involved in the UK scene does not mean it has not happened.

Re: Question wrote:Here's a question. What do you actually want to happen to Rob Young? What kind of punishment fits this crime?

An admission of guilt and then he can sulk off into the shadows or whatever he wants.

For all I care, he can keep on with the charities (if they're legit and funding something other than himself of course) and/or hawking Skins for cash, but there should be awareness of the dude being a fraudster ... if that's what the investigation reveals.

Re: Question wrote:Here's a question. What do you actually want to happen to Rob Young? What kind of punishment fits this crime?

Great question.

I would like everyone that gives him hard earned money on the basis of a falsehood to know that they are being defrauded. And any potential future donors to be able to make informed decisions if they still want to based on the facts.

Signed a legit runner!

"Why do so many people not use their own name and hide behind fake profiles?" - Like 'Challengerunning', 'Signed a legit runner!' - Perhaps you can tell us?

"There have been some truly terrible posts on here" - You're right: "Turkish you are an idiot.", projecting much?

RE: Robert is cleaning up his facebook page7/5/2016 6:41PM - in reply to Markus

I've been combing through the Kansas saga piece by piece. Of interest right now is their "rebuttal" to the second car wash video (https://www.facebook.com/marathonmanuk/videos/1026629384087986/) where they claim they acquired the video.

One of Rob's defenders on Facebook said that Asher confirmed that Rob's recording was a "different recording" of the CCTV footage. Did this happen? My understanding is that Asher didn't actually get the video, he had to record it at the car wash on his phone, meaning that Rob and Co. would have had to go back to the car wash to get the video (which is unlikely).

easy question, next?

RE: Robert is cleaning up his facebook page7/5/2016 8:46PM - in reply to Markus

Interesting. Having watched all of the videos that Asher has available (https://goo.gl/photos/oK8L339ndAqJFZiPA), none seem to match the one Rob posted on his Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/marathonmanuk/videos/1026629384087986/). Notice the pink car is clearly visible from a distance in Rob's video. Not that it makes any difference, but did they actually obtain the video?

My impression was they contacted the owner for the footage. Check the comments on his strava run through Emporia.

No, not true. YOU spoke out, but most did not. Now Steve way and robbie have thrown their hats in the ring we may see a shift.The threads were locked or deleted on ultrarunning community, mainly by gary dalton/kiernan (oh he does love his bit of power as a new admin, wasnt long ago he was pissing so many people off in there that he was making them leave, then HE stropped off and left. Now he struts around like king dick with his new found admin powers)

.

Nothing really. He is punished enough.

How? He still has all his fans and they still pay him, and still gets all his trips paid for. Even if Skins dump him, the fans will never leave him. He is their jesus and will continue to pay into his gofundme and write on his page "GO ROB, those haters are so mean and you should just ignore them, you dont have to prove anything"

There were a couple of threads on RWUK where he got a pasting from some of the regulars

Hey Dr Joyce Brojos do you think this is how the world works? Do you think it would work with the British tabloids too? Do you think it worked with Jaimie? Do think it worked when Asher started the thread?, etc, etc.

Or perhaps you can explain to us how the world of communication works in 2016?

Dr Joyce Brojos wrote:Sure, with a few e-mails or phone calls or maybe a fax, they'll get right on it. You really don't understand how the world works, do you?

Okay, Bright Boy, maybe you can explain why The Guardian ran a fairly comprehensive article (with comments open) a couple of weeks ago but the UK tabloids still haven't touched the story.

Trust me, it's not because I haven't told them.

I sent my congressman an e-mail the other day objecting to the 10s of billions in military aid the US plans to give Israel before Obama leaves office. Now that he knows, I'm sure he will vote as I want him to. I mean, we've communicated modernly, so what could possibly be the problem?

Steve Way (2:15)

I personally believe Rob is not "one of them". Having reviewed the evidence and data and also witnessed Rob's online behaviour in the last month I can't see him being anything other than a complete fraud. Just looking at his inability to defend accusations of false PBs and cycling achievements is bad enough but having looked at some of his uploaded runs I can't help but feel he is just taking the piss out of the sport I love. For reference, I personally have some very similar PB's to what Rob is claiming for his 10km and half marathon and not only could I tell you immediately what year and race I did them in, I could probably tell you what the weather was like, who I was racing, show you a Garmin link, show you a Power of 10 link and even describe how good my pre-race shit was...... I wouldn't need a month to think about it.

That is a great quote - where did you find it? I'd like to add it to the doc.

Re: Question wrote:Here's a question. What do you actually want to happen to Rob Young? What kind of punishment fits this crime?

A couple of years in jail because of embezzlement?

Lindley, you called him out and that merits a lot of respect. But the same can't be said for the UK scene. You have to agree that a lot of people have been extremely gullible. Most runners here hadn't heard of Rob before the transcon fiasco. But the UK scene was aware of his 373 mile "record" (obvious cheat as well), his impossible PB's, his "pro cycling" career, his first 3 marathons... They should have stopped him way earlier.
